Lazy Sunday: La promenade Du Peyrou

12 May 2015

There I was complaining to my friends back home about how much I missed grass and how there is absolutely no grass whatsoever in Montpellier, when it turns out that I only live five minutes walk from a park. Oh.

To be fair to me, there really isn't a lot of grass, and it's no Hyde Park (referring to the one in Leeds and the one in London here). Nevertheless, La Promenade du Peyrou features a few little patches for sunbathing, along with some gorgeous views of Montpellier and Pic Saint Loup. If you take a seat on the grass or one of the multiple benches dotted about the place, then you will also have a view of the stunning Arc de Triomphe, which is the beautiful monument that will pop up on Google Images anytime you search for Montpellier.
